Chapter 30: Flying West and East with the Sun and the Wild Goose (20)
When Dagong Ding arrived at the big tent of the Chinese army, Yelu Yuli, the governor of the six prefectures of Xiping, was looking at the northwest in a daze, and the left and stable Xi Wu next to him were also stunned with him.
The big tent of the Chinese army, which was guarded in the center of the camp, was supposed to be the busiest area of the camp, but now more than 100 people near the big tent seemed to be frozen, standing stiff in the night.
"But something happened to Yaode City?!" Dagong Ding didn't even care about gasping, jumped off the horse and rushed straight to Yelu Yuli's side.
"I don't know what to do!" Yelu Yu didn't speak, and Xi Wu also shook his head beside him, "I didn't even come to report the news!" I just sent a horse to investigate. β
Dagong Ding's face became even more ugly: "Then why are you looking for me?!" β
"It's a kind of!" Yelu Yuli turned his head, the confidence that had been on his face was gone, and his lips trembled, "Just now the scout has returned, and the seed has already led the army out of Yanzhou." β
Dagongding seemed to have been punched by a split, and his feet were softened, but fortunately, his son supported him left and right, so he didn't fall down.
Supported by the news of the army, there is no chance that Yaode City will have any luck!
Xi Wu also looked dazed.
For so many days of besieging the city, they had been hoping that the Yinxia Army would be able to dispatch troops sooner. Now that he has sent troops, no one will think of fighting him again.
Dagong Ding struggled and grabbed Yelu Yuli's hand, "Where is the seed now?" β
"We're halfway there."
Dagongding's hand fell weakly, and the last hope was shattered.
Yes, in order to lure the Yinxia army, lest they flee back to Yanzhou City when they see that the situation is not good, the scouts sent here and the rangers of the Song army retreated and gave up more than a hundred miles.
Da Liao's expeditionary interceptor horse was a well-known elite at that time, if he didn't want to swallow the Song reinforcements in one bite, how could he lose to the Song cavalry who didn't even dare to let go of the reins when galloping?!
The cavalry of the Great Liao Kingdom would never be afraid to fight the Song people in the field.
The array does not fight, this is the iron law of the Great Liao against the Song army, but the Song army that cannot be arrayed is the target of the slaughter of the Great Liao Iron Cavalry, and the Song army, as a reinforcement, cannot be arrayed at any time. For more than a hundred miles, the cavalry that came and went like the wind was enough to bring down the Song army, which had to keep advancingβeven if the leader was the bravest of the Song people.
If I had heard the news a day ago, it is estimated that more than half of the generals would have laughed, but now no one can laugh.
The Song army from Yanzhou was only a little more than a hundred miles away from Pule City, even at the speed of infantry, it only took two days. On Yinxia's side, there should be no shortage of cavalry.
A general stationed in other camps arrived.
Panic was written on everyone's faces.
Originally, they planned to teach the Song people a bloody lesson on the two-hundred-mile Hanhai Road from Yanzhou to Pule City, who would have thought that the Song people would not go to the rescue of Pule City, but directly burn Yaode City?
How dare they attack the city of Da Liao!?
"Father Shang won't spare those Southern Barbarians!!" One shouted.
"Let's think about how to get back first. This battle can't be fought! The other person directly poured cold water.
How to return? The road back to Xiping Liuzhou, that is, Xingling, is six hundred miles along the Lingzhou River, and if the grain of Yaode City is lost, even if the party members can be left behind, how can the remaining more than 10,000 cavalry return home safely?
"There are three days of grain in the camp." Dagong Ding said.
The generals looked at each other.
Is it two hundred miles a day? People can afford it, but horses can't eat it!
"Let's send someone back to Yaode City to put out the fire first!" Dagong Ding proposed, "It's a little bit to be able to save a little." β
There was no objection to this proposal.
"Then bring some extra people, just in case." A Khitan Xi said.
Yelu Yuli shook his head: "If you have more, you will be in trouble!" β
"There are not many party members left, just dare to make trouble and kill them!"
"Who said it was a party member!" Yelu Yuli roared angrily, and slammed his right hand the ground.
Everyone understood at once.
"Who's going back?" Xi Wuye's voice was a little low.
If you go back to rescue Yaode City, you may run headlong into the ambush soldiers of the Song army. In the middle of the night, as long as one is not careful, there is a danger of annihilation.
But in the eyes of the people below, this one left the others to retreat first. Whoever led the troops first, the more people walked, the more the rest felt like they had been left behind.
Even now, in the tent, there will be people with careful thoughts in their stomachs. Who dares to guarantee that the part that rushes back to Yaode City, after scaring off the Song people, will not take the grain and grass and pull out the legs and go north! If there is only a little bit of food and grass left, the ghost will leave a bite for the others. Moreover, the main force of the Yinxia Army from Yanzhou was staring behind him, and if he was bitten, he would have to shed his skin if he didn't die.
There was no sound in the tent, and no one said anything for a long time.
Dagong Ding's mouth was on fire, and his stomach suddenly hurt badly.
Over the past year or so, families have fought for pastures and fields. Their army was the head army, which was composed of private soldiers of the Khitan, Xi, Bohai and other tribes. When there is an advantage, everyone competes to be the first, but now that the battle situation has changed, it is that people have different hearts.
It's just that Dagong Ding will not be so confused that he jumped out and said that he was the queen of the Great Army, so that Yelu Yuli or Xi Wu also returned to Yaode City with the main force. are all their own sons, how to let them die for the Khitan and Xi people?
"It's better to wait two hours and leave when it's almost dawn. When I arrived at Yaode City, it was dawn, and I didn't have to be afraid of the Song people's ambush. Dagong Ding thought for a long time and proposed a solution that was not a solution, "In this way, even if there are only a thousand soldiers and horses to go back, it will be enough." β
"What about the grain and grass in Yaode City?!" A general of the Xi clan was furious, "Just leave it alone!?" β
Although the fire in Yaode City is raging, the granaries in the city are not crowded together, and they may not all be burned down at once. If you can go back earlier, there is a good chance that you will be able to save one more. Those grains and grass are the military rations that each family has worked hard to accumulate in the past year, and they have burned out, and if they want to go out before the summer harvest next year, they will have to tighten the belt on their stomachs a little more! And it's even people and horses!
The Grand Duke Ding had a gloomy face and looked at Xi Wuye, who was his subordinate. But Xi Wu also lowered his head and stared at the ground.
"Report!" A pro-soldier rushed in.
Yelu Yuli glared at him impatiently: "What's the matter?!" β
"The cavalry of Pule City is out of the city!"
Xi Wu was finally no longer silent, he shouted in a panic: "Chong Pu is trying to hold us back!" β
"How many rides?!"
"I can't see clearly, it should be less than a thousand."
Enough is enough.
The number of cavalry in Pule City is actually counted, five or six hundred is basically all, and now it should be pouring out. This amount is enough for the first half of the day, and even the rear army of the queen of the palace was bitten and eaten by the Song army.
This time, no one dared to stay behind as the queen of the whole army.
"Report!!" Another messenger rushed into the tent and fell so crookedly that it nearly knocked it over.
"What's wrong?!" Yelu Yuli roared a little louder.
"The party has captured Shunzhou!"
Yelu Yuli froze suddenly, but Xi Wu also jumped up.
"The party items in the six states of Xiping are not all here!? How could that group of old and weak people be able to occupy Shunzhou?! Xi Wu also picked up the messenger with his hand, his eyes were blood-red, Shunzhou was his head under the military state!
"It's the party members of Qingtongxia who are attacking!" Did the messenger almost cry, "The party members in the city have opened the city, and they should be united with the outside!" β
Suddenly there was no sound in the tent, and everyone's eyes were turned to Yeluyu.
It was Yelu Yuli's idea to instigate the party members of Qingtongxia to attack Mingsha City, and it was also Yelu Yuli's idea to lead the army to attack Pule City. More precisely, it was the idea of Yelu Yixin behind Yelu Yuli. Among the six states of Xiping, the cronies sent by Yelu Yixin to suppress this enclave are Yelu Yuli!
The Song people are no longer the same as they used to be.
Everyone was shocked that the Song people's style of doing things had completely lost sight of the past.
burned the grain and grass in Yaode City, and even intended to wipe out the army going south, and behind his back, he instigated the instigated party members to counterattack into Xingling, this whole set of tricks was obviously to swallow Xingling.
This is something that the Song people in the past would never dare to do.
In the more than 100 years since the defeat of the Gaoliang River, there has only been one Yang Yanzhao who has counterattacked into the territory of Daliao. After the alliance of the abyss, there was no one.
But now the Song people dared.
In silence, Jeruyuri stood up.
"When did the Song people and the party dare to bully my Da Liao?!" Anger burned Yelu Yuli's eyes, and he yelled at everyone, "When is it?? β
"This battle is too careless, you should take care of what is behind you." Someone whispered.
"Really?" Yelu Yu raised his eyes, a pair of ringed eyes were round, and his oppressive gaze swept over the faces of the generals. Everyone bowed their heads, but no one denied it. After the last moment, he nodded, looked at the generals, and nodded again and again, "That's right, it's me who is wrong!" I admit punishment! β
Who would dare to punish you here?
No one dared to say the words in the stomach. But what Jerod did next scared everyone.
The fierce aura hidden in the bones of the Khitan people broke out, Yelu Yuli put the little finger of his left hand into his mouth, stared at him, and in front of everyone, his teeth suddenly closed, and two streams of blood rushed out from the corners of his mouth, and he actually bit off his fingers!
Dagong Ding and the others saw that their hairs stood on end, and they were intimidated by the ferocity in Yelu Yuli's eyes, and they didn't dare to speak or move. I watched Yelu Yuli raise his neck and swallow the flesh and blood in his mouth.
Opening a mouth full of bright red, Yelu Yuli's words were like a yin wind, "This battle is my fault, so I will admit punishment with this finger!" Does anyone think it's not enough?! β
No one dared to say anything.
With a heavy cold snort, Yelu Yuli raised his left hand, which was missing a finger, and bared two rows of bloody teeth, "I swear by this finger, I will hang those party thieves on the head of the city of Xiping Mansion!" β
Drawing his knife, he split the curtain of the tent with a knife, and stepped out of the big tent, and Yelu Yuli turned around with his knife and roared:
"What are you doing sitting?! Kill them all with me!! Xigou wants to find death, go back and kill it! Song Gou dared to come over and turn around and kill him! Whoever dares to stand in the way will be killed!! Straight mothers and thieves, all of them will rise up for me!! β
